. I'm surprised they haven't used it already.

Well, until recently, it was believed that using such weapons would get your shit pretty much blown away..

..apparently that is now an open discussion

I thought Pelosi has a good line when she said it wasn't Obama's red line

That humanity in the form of international accords had outlawed such weapons decades ago

Of course any law is dependent on enforcement for it to have legitimacy

..and we are in the process of delegitimizing any international ban on these weapons

..wonder how smart that is with the number of bad actors in the world watching closely how this plays out
